If you are planning a trip to Atlanta, staying in an Airbnb is a great way to feel like a local. We’ve rounded up the most unique 15 Airbnbs in Atlanta for your stay and why we love each one, including must-see sights!
Why Stay at an Airbnb in Atlanta
Airbnb is a common service travelers use to feel more attached to their destination. Staying in an Airbnb increases your experience by letting you feel like a local while exploring a new city.
Airbnb accommodations are often larger than your average hotel room for around the same price point. The average hotel price in Atlanta is about $160-200 per night. This price is only an average, as it can fluctuate.
At many hotels located in the city’s most popular neighborhoods, these rates can be a lot higher. Staying in an Airbnb in the same areas is likely lower for the per night cost and more spacious and accommodating.
One of the most expensive parts of traveling is dining out for every meal, but if you stay at an Airbnb, you can prepare your own meals at home and save even more money.
If you’re traveling for work, that means one less stop you have to make on the way back from the office. When you stay at an Airbnb in Atlanta instead of a hotel, you get to have precisely the stay you want because you’re not limited to traditional chain hotel amenities.
You can live like a local, staying in a residential neighborhood, or live it up like royalty in a lavish downtown penthouse. Choosing an Airbnb lets you have a one-of-a-kind Atlanta experience.

Now that you’ve seen 15 of the most unique Airbnbs in Atlanta, we hope to inspire you to book a trip yourself! Be sure to go over this buying guide for answers to any additional questions you might have.
How to Check-In
Overall, the check-in process is usually straightforward. Be sure to check the specific instructions regarding check-in and house rules posted by the host before arrival. If you have further questions, you can message the host through Airbnb for clarification.
There are a few common ways hosts handle key dropoffs. The host might meet you in person for the handoff. They also may leave it in a specified location to let yourself into the rental. Other times, you may only need a passcode to enter, which they will give to you after booking.
Check-in time varies based on your travel plans and the general rules that the hosts have. Some run it like hotels where check-in is around 3 pm, and check-out is around 11 am. Others have more flexible plans.
Average Price vs. Hotels
Depending on the neighborhood, time of year, and specific listing amenities, you can find yourself spending the same amount of money on an Airbnb versus a hotel. Other times, you can find yourself spending significantly less for much more space and privacy.
For stays longer than a weekend, staying in an Airbnb is cost-effective and convenient. With the amenities included in many Airbnbs like full kitchens and laundry appliances, more extended stays are much more palpable in an Airbnb.
If you wanted tons of space and services like laundry or full kitchens in a hotel, you would have to pay super high prices for a suite or penthouse. With Airbnb, these services are part of the deal.
Pro Tip: When you search for an Airbnb, look for a listing that is an “Entire Place” so that you can enjoy all of the amenities of a home and have ultimate privacy. You just have to decide what is most important to you in your stay and make a judgment of which cost is more suited for you.
